Livestreaming: Parliament debates on approval of CJ nominee, Justice Torkornoo

Parliament has resumed sitting after going into recess in March this year.

The House being presided over by Speaker Alban Bagbin is expected to vote on the approval of Chief Justice nominee, Justice Eraaba Torkornoo.

Ahead of the substantive matter, the Majority and Minority are arguing over the Supreme Court’s ruling that birth certificate is not a form of identification.

This is contained in the court’s judgment in the case filed by private citizen Mark Takyi Banson which the court delivered judgment on June 25 together with the case filed by the opposition NDC.

Also, the House is discussing how prudent its members can criticise the Judiciary without being contemptuous.
